Ivanti Installation Manager is updated periodically. Install the new version to take advantage of higher performance or added features.

Ivanti Installation Manager updates are downloaded and applied by Ivanti Endpoint Security, or you can install them manually as any other component. For additional information, refer to Installing or Updating Components. Ivanti recommends installing updates immediately.

If you are upgrading to Ivanti Endpoint Security 8.6 using the Ivanti Installation Manager, you may be asked to reboot the server to continue the update process.
